How to Convert an Attic Into Climate-Controlled Storage
- 1). Study the temperature variations in your region very carefully. The climatic and humidity ranges are the deciding factors on what type of insulators must be installed in the walls of the attic.
- 2). Ensure that there is plenty of ventilation.
- 3). Be sure to get the flooring of the attic checked. The floor of the attic serves as the ceiling for the rooms beneath. If the floors are not in good condition, this may cause problems in a bad climate. These problems may affect the items stored in the attic as well as the household beneath.
- 4). Check the roof in case any repair is required. Make the repair and add the required insulation.
- 5). Make the area as spacious as possible if you want to store many things. Nothing should block ventilation.
- 6). Check your attic for any indication of ventilators from the house into the attic.
- 7). If the chimneys are completely open, make sure to add mesh to the opening so that there is no chance of an animal falling in, even if by accident.
